The NFL draft is now becoming the main focus of NFL experts and fans with free agency concluding, meaning mock drafts are more and more common.
That doesn’t mean they aren’t fun to make and aren’t fun to read, as everyone has different perspectives on who will go where.
With team needs clearer and more details on players being discovered, mock drafts will only get more and more accurate as time goes on.
For this mock draft, no trades will be conducted, so the picks will be more based on need than value.
That could mean some players feel like reaches but will be good fits for their respective teams.
Here is a full first-round, 32-pick NFL mock draft with no trades.
1. Tennessee Titans – Cam Ward, QB, Miami
As long as the Titans stay at the top of the draft, Ward will certainly be the pick for them. A trade down is possible, but as of now, this seems the most likely thing to happen at the top come April.
2. Cleveland Browns – Shedeur Sanders, QB, Colorado
The Browns also need a quarterback, so they take Sanders, the clear second-best quarterback in the draft. A trade down is also possible here, but less likely than at number one.
3. New York Giants – Travis Hunter, WR/CB, Colorado
The Giants need quarterback most but decide to settle for Hunter, a great consolation prize. He can help them both at receiver and corner as at worst second options at both positions.
4. New England Patriots – Abdul Carter, EDGE, Penn St.
The Patriots don’t need an edge rusher that badly, but taking arguably the best player in the draft at four shouldn’t be passed up on. If left tackle is deemed too important, a trade down is possible as well.
5. Jacksonville Jaguars – Mason Graham, DT, Michigan
This pick just makes too much sense for the Jaguars. They could also take a receiver or offensive lineman, but Graham is the best player available at this spot and fills a need.

6. Las Vegas Raiders – Ashton Jeanty, RB, Boise St.
With a huge need for more skill players, the Raiders take Jeanty, who besides possibly Hunter, is the best skill player in this draft. The Raiders have a solid enough offensive line to allow Jeanty to thrive right away.
7. New York Jets – Armand Membou, OT, Missouri
The Jets help out Justin Fields and replace Morgan Moses at right tackle. This pick, like the Graham pick for the Jaguars, feels like a no-brainer.
8. Carolina Panthers – Tyler Warren, TE, Penn St.
The Panthers have solid young weapons for Bryce Young and add another one. Warren can be used in a multitude of ways and will be an elite check-down option and blocker to help the Panthers offense tremendously.
9. New Orleans Saints – Jaxon Dart, QB, Ole Miss
Dart is rising up draft boards due to the need at quarterback for multiple teams, with the Saints being one of them. A trade down is very possible in this scenario, but Dart would be a great pick, albeit a reach, for the Saints.
10. Chicago Bears – Will Campbell, OT, LSU
The Bears take a left tackle and the best player on the board at pick 10, a great combination for head coach Ben Johnson. Campbell could turn into a guard eventually, but he would start at LT in this scenario.

11. San Francisco 49ers – Jahdae Barron, CB, Texas
The 49ers need secondary help after losing Charvarius Ward and Talanoa Hufanga, so picking arguably the best guy on the board in Barron makes perfect sense.
12. Dallas Cowboys – Will Johnson, CB, Michigan
The Cowboys need help in the secondary badly and decide to grab Johnson, who has the potential to be a lockdown perimeter option. Once considered a potential top-five pick, this could turn into a huge value.
13. Miami Dolphins – Malaki Starks, S, Georgia
A run on secondary here leads Starks to Miami, who just lost Jevon Holland in free agency. They may also want offensive line help here, but nobody really stands out as a clear pick here.
14. Indianapolis Colts – Tetairoa McMillan, WR, Arizona
The Colts always seem mocked to take a tight end, but they could use weapons in general to help out Anthony Richardson. McMillan would be a great big-bodied target to go along with Josh Downs and Michael Pittman.
15. Atlanta Falcons – Jalon Walker, EDGE, Georgia
Walker is another Georgia defender with huge potential, going two picks just after his college teammate. The Falcons desperately need pass rush help, which Walker provides along with some extra versatility as a linebacker.
16. Arizona Cardinals – Mykel Williams, EDGE, Georgia
Another Georgia defender, Williams also has great potential. The Cardinals need pass rush help, and adding pass rushers in the draft is almost always a good strategy.
17. Cincinnati Bengals – Shemar Stewart, EDGE, Texas A&M
Stewart serves as a replacement for Trey Hendrickson if he is traded, but in the short term, he can be a great complement on the opposite side of the defensive line as a raw prospect with great potential.
18. Seattle Seahawks – Kelvin Banks Jr., OT, Texas
Banks Jr. is a potential guard as well, so he will slot him wherever the Seahawks think they need him most. At one point considered a top tackle prospect during the draft process, Banks will help protect new QB Sam Darnold.
19. Tampa Bay Buccaneers – Jihaad Campbell, LB, Alabama
A fast riser right now, Campbell serves as a good young replacement for Lavonte David in the future but can help the team right now as well. The Buccaneers have good pieces on offense but need more youth on defense.
20. Denver Broncos – Matthew Golden, WR, Texas
Another huge riser in the NFL draft prospect rankings goes right after in Golden, a speedy receiver out of Texas. The Broncos need help on the perimeter alongside Courtland Sutton.
21. Pittsburgh Steelers – Omarion Hampton, RB, North Carolina
After letting Najee Harris go in free agency, this pick makes a lot of sense. Hampton would dominate most touches, but he and Jaylen Warren would form a nice duo out of the backfield.
22. Los Angeles Chargers – Colston Loveland, TE, Michigan
The Chargers need more weapons beyond Ladd McConkey, and get a great one in Loveland. While receiver would feel like more of a need after losing Josh Palmer to the Bills, tight end also would help tremendously here.
23. Green Bay Packers – Kenneth Grant, DT, Michigan
The Packers need help on the defensive line, so this pick would make perfect sense. The Packers may also consider receiver help or secondary help, but no option stands out.
24. Minnesota Vikings – Nick Emmanwori, S, South Carolina
The Vikings continue to rework their secondary by adding a young safety. With Harrison Smith getting up there in age, a future replacement would be nice to have to go along with their free agent acquisitions at corner.
25. Houston Texans – Grey Zabel, OT, North Dakota State
The Texans desperately need offensive line help, so they take the best available in the draft. Zabel has versatility too, which should help plug holes depending on who else they add.
26. Los Angeles Rams – Trey Amos, CB, Ole Miss
The Rams have a good young defense front but could use some young talent on the back end. They do that by adding Amos, who has good size and speed to man the perimeter.
27. Baltimore Ravens – Maxwell Hairston, CB, Kentucky
The Ravens could also use help in the secondary, adding the third guy out of the last four. Having to compete with the Bills and Chiefs at the top of the AFC will mean secondary help will always be useful.
28. Detroit Lions – Mike Green, EDGE, Marshall
The Lions could use youth on the defensive line after suffering injuries last season, and get that with Green. Green was a riser early in the draft process and has cemented himself as a solid first-round pick.
29. Washington Commanders – Emeka Egbuka, WR, Ohio St.
The Commanders add another Ohio State receiver alongside Terry McLaurin. Egbuka doesn’t stand out as a clear top receiver, but the Commanders won’t need that with McLaurin and Deebo Samuel in the mix.
30. Buffalo Bills – Derrick Harmon, DT, Oregon
The Bills could use help on defense, which Harmon can provide both as a pass rusher and run stopper on the interior. The Chiefs also could use DT, so stealing him from them is an added bonus.
31. Kansas City Chiefs – Josh Simmons, OT, Ohio State
The Chiefs need help on the offensive line, which was clear based on the Super Bowl. They added help in free agency, but more help is still needed to block speedy edge rushers and protect Patrick Mahomes.
32. Philadelphia Eagles – Donovan Ezeiruaku, EDGE, Boston College
A productive edge rusher in college, Ezeiruaku serves as a replacement for Josh Sweat, who went to the Cardinals in free agency. The Eagles add another piece to an already dynamic pass rush in need of depth.
